The first ever Nike 6.0 street specialty competition took place at the first stop of the 2009 Dew Tour, the Nike 6.0 BMX Open, June 26-27in Chicago’s Grant Park. Team captain, Sean Sexton, took home the first place finish with teammates, Aaron Ross and Danny Hickerson.
The street specialty competition consisted of nine riders divided into teams of three with one filmer per team. Filming time was designated to each team on the Wessel-designed street course, for the filmer to edit footage into a three-minute video. Walter Peringer shot and edited the winning video for team Sexton. Fans can find videos from all three teams on allisports.com and RideBMX.com.

In addition, the teams went head-to-head in a 20-minute jam session. Judges rated the jam session and video part, combining the two scores and declaring Sexton’s team the winner. “The course was great and the format made for an awesome contest,” said team captain, Sexton.

Showcasing the disciplines of BMX park, vert and dirt with its first ever BMX single-sport event, the Dew Tour’s Nike 6.0 BMX Open was filled with firsts including two newcomers to the podium. Kicking off the Nike 6.0 BMX Open, the BMX dirt finals quickly became the night of the open qualifier, as Josh Hult fought through three rounds of competition to claim a piece of the spotlight. After taking seventh in open qualifiers and second in the prelims, Hult hit the eject button in his first run, putting the pressure on him for his final two runs. A truckdriver tailwhip and 360 to downside whip helped secure the victory for Hult, the first of his career. Hult beat out the past two Dew Cup champions – 2007’s Ryan Nyquist and 2008’s Cam White – to make the feat that much more impressive. Brandon Dosch, who also had never made it onto a Dew Tour podium before the Nike 6.0

Only two weeks from now, the BMX elite will gather up once again in the Jugendpark Cologne to celebrate the sport as they compete for the title. The event is highly anticipated by fans and riders alike. There will be a total of 450 registered athletes (230 of them are pros).
